Darfour : the hidden truth | M6 | Enquête Exclusive

The full extent of the tragedy of Darfour is revealed for the first time with previously unreleased pictures of a massive program of ethnic cleansing. Using footage that had been hidden the film provides conclusive evidence of killings on a scale rarely seen in history. Over the past four years an entire population has fallen victim to rape, torture and massacre, with the international community seemingly unwilling to intervene. In that time an estimated 200,000 people have been killed, 2 and a half million others now in a desperate exile, forced to flee their land and their homes to escape the horror. The survivors huddle in makeshift refugee camps hundreds of miles from their homeland. Conditions are bleak in the barren desert landscape, despite the best efforts of humanitarian organisations that are providing whatever help they can. What really took place in Darfour? Why are there so few pictures of the events that unfolded there? When will the truth be known, and how could such things happen in the first place? A uniquely poignant film, wrenching yet touching, made under extremely difficult conditions. A film that serves as a wake-up call at a time when the Darfour conflict threatens to spill over into neighbouring countries. And today we no longer have the right to ignore what is happening.
